Application Tips

Make the Most of Your Application

  • "The earlier, the better."
  • Submit your FAFSA as close to January 1st as possible.
  • Pay attention to detail.
  • Fill out paperwork as thoroughly as possible.
  • Write legibly, even if you’re pre-med!
  • Keep copies of everything.
  • When submitting your financial aid packet, explain financial circumstances not evident in the other paperwork. College financial aid offices take your information into account when deciding what financial aid you are eligible to receive.
  • Complete everything as early as possible. Already mentioned that? Well, it's important!
